Yoga Therapy for Pain Care

Pain is complex and living with pain is challenging and all-encompassing. Join Courtney Sutherland of Unlocking You Yoga Therapy for this CONNEXT event focused on Pain Care. We will use principles and practices of Yoga to explore how your experience of pain may be shifted.

Using breath, awareness, and nervous system regulation, you will learn various ways to approach your pain, and learn to live with it in a different way. You might even be able to smooth out its edges and soften its grip on your life!

Yoga Therapy for Pain Care is for you if:

• You experience chronic pain
• You are interested in a holistic approach to health and well-being
• You are willing to try simple practices to meet a complex pain experience

Before we meet, please take the following free informational quiz. There is no pass or fail and it will take less than 10 minutes. It addresses what research tells us about pain management and some of the information might surprise you!
